FEATURING EVA RESNICK-DAY – With primary elections continuing in many states, Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has one more thing to worry about – a 20 second exchange she had with a Greenpeace activist that went viral.
Greenpeace’s Eva Resnick-day recently confronted Clinton at a campaign event about taking money from fossil fuel companies. Mrs. Clinton lost her temper and the whole exchange was captured on video.
Greenpeace had asked presidential candidates a year ago if they would take a pledge to “#FixDemocracy,” which meant among other things, that they would not take campaign contributions from fossil fuel interests.
